Cleveland's Hopkins International Airport is the largest airport in Ohio.

It started operations in 1925, supporting the air operations of Cleveland.

From a certain perspective, it is incorrect for Li Liang to call Cleveland a rural area.

Cleveland is close to the Great Lakes and was once an important city in the industrial zone group in the central United States, a famous transportation route and a steel capital.

Of course, the industrial zone group in the central region has long ceased to be as glorious as before, and it has become a rust belt, a place that gradually withered with the wave of globalization.

In the 50s, the population of Cleveland reached 50,000, but now it is only less than 40,000, which is similar to the population of large communities in Beijing, Tiantongyuan and Huilongguan.

The urban exhibitions in the United States are mainly concentrated on the east and west coasts, and declining cities in the central region like Cleveland naturally become "rural".

Moreover, Ohio is close to Indiana, and its arable land accounts for two-thirds of the state. It is located on the corn belt. The output of crops such as corn and oats ranks among the top in the United States and is a major agricultural state.

As the largest city in Ohio, Cleveland is naturally a big rural area. Its status in the hearts of the American people is equivalent to the "big city" Tieling in the hearts of the Chinese, and people give the nickname "Kecun".

Li Liang arrived at Hopkins Airport on the morning of the 15th, with only Wei Dazhi accompanying him.

Li Liang did not release any news before he arrived. His appearance in Hopkins caused a commotion. Many passengers boarding and getting off the plane took photos of Li Liang and many others wanted to sign.

With two consecutive seasons of championship and most valuable player, Li Liang has become an indispensable "international superstar!"

His popularity across the United States has soared to an incredible level.

It is so incredible that it breaks out of the category of "stars".

For example, if James is coming, the bodyguards will definitely make the way, and all kinds of commercial activities will be arranged well in all aspects, and the media, audiences, and a whole set of processes will be beautiful.

Li Liang has always been alone, at most two or three, no one is creating momentum or company publicity, but wherever he goes, news about him will immediately make headlines.

This is an era in which everyone can be a journalist.

Take out your cell phone, take a photo, a Twitter, and a self-media message were born.

Li Liang is a news gatherer in this self-media era. He does not deliberately keep it mysterious, but the more he is like this, the more mysterious he appears.

He does not participate in exclusive interviews and has hardly participated in TV shows, but turns on TV and mobile phones, and you can see his news as long as you are not a person who is completely isolated from sports.

This kind of energy and this topic make some reality show teams envious.

More than one program team wants to invite him to participate in reality shows this summer, including the famous Kardashians.

Of course Li Liang refused, I still have to play the system.

Who has time to play reality shows with you? Isn’t it enough for a reality show if I play basketball every year?

Show it all. OK.

The power of the masses is strong. The news that Li Liang arrived in Cleveland immediately spread throughout the network. Cleveland fans knew that today must be the day when Li Liang and James signed the contract!

At the Cavaliers Home Loan Center, many fans gathered in the square, hoping to see the two strongest players in the league and how to achieve the combination of two swords!

But the actual situation did not work as the fans wished. The Cavaliers did not hold a joint signing meeting for Li Liang and James. The reason was actually very simple, because Li Liang belongs to Under Armour and James belongs to Nike.

With Li Liang suppressing James to win the championship for two consecutive years and defeating the finals mVp, Under Armour's market value can be said to have soared.

Nike felt a huge threat. What happened that their top stars could not win the championship?

What's worse is that James is actually in the same team as Li Liang?

Nike originally did not recommend James to cooperate with Li Liang in the Cavaliers, but Nike also thought, if James did not go to the Cavaliers, what would happen if Li Liang defeated James and won a championship?

So, Nike's senior executives had another idea, why not let James go to the Cavaliers and persuade Li Liang to change Nike after the contract expires?

A genius is really a genius idea.

Are you not afraid that Li Liang will fool James on Peak?

...

After Li Liang and Wei Dazhi and Zhu Shu left Hopkins Airport, they took the Cavaliers' special car to the Cleveland Clinic Arena, where the Cavaliers' headquarters is located.

Leaving from Highway 77, driving 20 minutes to reach Independence Village, you can see the sign of an inconspicuous Cavaliers on the side of the road.

Although Li Liang decided to join the Cavaliers early in the morning, he came just by just a move in his mind.

He didn't even come to the Cavaliers to check out their team facilities, the level of the trainers, and management.

Judging from the Knight King's record, it should not be very good.

This is also the first time Li Liang has come to the Knights' training base, and he is really in the countryside.

This place cannot even be called a rural area. At least there are villages in the countryside, but there are no one here at all. There are national parks and cemeteries nearby.

That’s right, there is a cemetery next to the Knight Training Hall. Do you think this Feng Shui can be good?

Li Liang thought, if I was the Cavaliers boss, I would spend money to move the grave first and change the team's feng shui.

In addition to the cemetery, because it is a national park, you can see some wild animals from time to time in the woods.

When Zhu Shu saw these eyes bright, she actually didn't like life in big cities in Los Angeles very much. She even thought that she would even play games and would like to have network cards.

The air here in Cleveland is fresh and there are small animals, which feels so good.

Arriving at the training hall, team owner Gilbert and general manager Griffin greeted them at the door.

As soon as he saw Li Liang, Gilbert rushed up, held Li Liang's hand tightly, and said, "I should have gone to the airport to pick you up, but I'm so sorry, your news is too sudden, I haven't arranged my itinerary, I've just arrived from Chicago."

Gilbert was like a spring breeze to Li Liang, just like the secretary of a poor county welcomed the technical poverty alleviation cadres photographed above, and he was filled with tears.

Li Liang just nodded and exchanged some greetings with Gilbert, Griffin and others.

He had long been used to this situation, and he was like this when he went to the Clippers.

Li Liang was taken to the office of the work area by Griffin, and there were already many media waiting there.

Li Liang did not see James.

Wei Dazhi came over and whispered: "James is in another office. The signing ceremony for you two is separate. After signing the contract, there will be a meeting ceremony."

Li Liang nodded, he knew it must be Nike's meaning.

So, in the office, Li Liang signed a two-year contract of 30,000 yuan in front of media reporters, and the second year was the player option.

When signing his name, Gilbert finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the training group to take Li Liang to visit the Cavaliers' training ground. He and Griffin asked to attend James' signing ceremony.

Compared to Li Liang's simplicity and clarity, James's troubles are much more and more.

There was no way, there were too many people pointing at James for dinner.

Li Liang followed the staff to visit the training hall. It should be said that the training facilities of every team of nBa are very advanced. No matter how bad the team is, it is a matter of people, not a matter of equipment.

The Knights' training hall is no exception. Although it cannot be compared with the Clippers' training hall, it is also very advanced and has all kinds of equipment.

Li Liang does not have very high requirements for equipment. I have a system and need a cat's equipment.

When the tour was halfway through, Li Liang was walking to the training ground and heard a sound coming from the opposite side, and many people came over.

When Li Liang saw that it was James, he walked over like himself, surrounded by a group of reporters and staff.

Li Liang understood that the Knights set up a scene of "two kings meeting in the training ground" after signing the contract, and asked the staff to take them to meet the two people in an accidental encounter.

The management of this knight is also a genius.

Li Liang thought, in the future, I wonder how many more geniuses will meet in the Knights?

James had already stepped forward, and Li Liang also came forward, and the two had a "leader-style" handshake.

The sound of "cracking" photos around were heard.

Li Liang looked down at James and said, "I'm very happy. I'm a good person. You can get along with me slowly. If you don't get along well, you can find the reason for yourself."

James was stunned. What did he say? What did he mean?
